First results from an ultra-fast frame image acquisition diagnostic coupled to a 2.45 GHz microwave
hydrogen discharge are presented. The plasma reactor has been modified to include a transparent
doubled shielded quartz window allowing to viewing the full plasma volume. Pictures describing
the breakdown process at 1μs exposure time have been obtained for integrated visible light signal,
Balmer-alpha, Balmer-beta lines, and Fulcher-band. Several different plasma emission distributions
are reported. The distribution depends on the magnetic field configuration, incident microwave power,
and neutral gas pressure.
